Notes
Providers must return an employment start date for all staff members. The validation rules will enforce the completion of the employment start date. If a staff member has had a number of periods of employment with the provider, then the start date should be the start date of the latest period of employment
Use the original employment start date from the transferring from employer in the case of TUPE transfers and modification orders.
The collection only concerns an individual’s employment within FE. Therefore, if an employee has transitioned into role related to the delivery of an FE provision from another role within the organisation. Then employment start date of their role within FE should be given in this field.
